Re: Reggie statue proposal

I think the OP's avatar would be a great statue, or the one of Reggie pointing to the sky with his hand over his heart when he retired. Those would be great. Don't really dig the clay model, doesn't scream "Reggie" to me. Maybe if he had a leg kicked out there it might.

I agree, there are some iconic poses Reggie has had over the years, and the clay model doesn't really represent any of them.

Re: Reggie statue proposal

If a statue of a basketball player is to be built in Indianapolis, it should be of the greatest player to have a connection with the city. That would be Oscar Robertson. There is just no comparison when it comes to Oscar's accomplishments. No, it wouldn't be proper for it to be at BLF, but maybe somewhere on the renovated Georgia Street where they are honoring various Hoosiers. Then the second statue, one of Reggie could grace BLF.

It might be humorous to position the statues so that Oscar is throwing Reggie the ball, with Reggie getting set to launch a three! Of course that would be one really long pass.
